When I bought my Vespa and joined a forum all I got was elitist crap because I was a newb. I figured as much here, but every site is different. If I have something to contribute I will. Otherwise I try to keep to myself because it stops being friendly and starts becoming a know-it-all party and that's frustrating for everyone involved.

Don't start threads on what is on your mind or because you have nothing better to do.

Even in the Off Topic area?

FWIW, on Tivocommunity, the Happy Hour - General Chit-Chat area (you need an account there to see it) has grown to be a FAR more active place than everything else TiVo related, combined. Some folks don't even have TiVos anymore but still participate there.

The threads in the Happy Hour area range from threads like "Help me plan my wedding" to a lot of "Is this stealing?" threads to a favorite "What should happen to people who park like this?" to "SOAK: Google security certificates & VPN" (SOAK==Source Of All Knowledge) to "HP Touchpad discontinued - already on sale for $99!" and so on...

I think there are forums for that. This forum has some way off topic junk. Is that not what friends are for, to bore to death with trivia. Off topic used to mean "related" but off topic. What time is it by the way?

Ha... well, it's good to have OT areas here and on other boards where there's a chance that a decent subset of members have the same interests (e.g. technology, gadgets, sci-fi, etc.) Over on the OT area on Priuschat (Fred's House of Pancakes), we've had some discussions on Star Trek, tablets, iPhones/iOS, Siri and so on. Some of the posts do sometimes strike a chord...

Back on topic, search is still partly broken. The complaint I posted at viewtopic.php?p=135375#p135375 still isn't fixed. Sometimes Google searches and limiting to site:mynissanleaf.com doesn't find something and I have to try Bing as well...

Well, That would be too much work. Amazingly, people on other forums are able to keep topics relatively limited and easy to follow. It is also easy to ask a question on a related thread here as it will be addressed. Every question, thought, comment or PR news release on a vaporware research project does not need a new thread. In fact we should have a PR release thread because they are a dime a dozen.

Welcome to the forum. I see this is not your first time on the internet. I have been saying what you just said since the beginning of this forum, it seems there are members here though that are just learning what a web browser is or have never posted anything online before. I started a PR thread for new battery tech to file all the junk posts on PR but it seems people believe every piece of PR trivia is worth a thread, most things are not worth posting. The search function here is not the best but the google one is much better however that is really not the heart of the issue.
